"Chen Hao sat down with Ye Yuqiao at the base of the large tree where he had been cultivating for the past three days.

"Yuqiao, you've been sneaking over to see me the past couple of nights, haven't you?" Chen Hao asked.

Ye Yuqiao shook her head slightly, then leaned her head in Chen Hao's chest, her tone shyly saying, "No!"

"If it wasn't you, then who could it be?" Chen Hao pretended to ponder, "Could it be a certain beautiful fairy?"

"Hmph!" Ye Yuqiao's face darkened, and then she raised her right hand to pinch Chen Hao's cheek fiercely, "Annoying, do you really wish for a female demon to visit you?"

Chen Hao laughed and shook his head, saying, "I would rather have this little girl in my arms come see me more often. Let me have a good look and see if you've gotten thinner these past few days."

Immediately after, Ye Yuqiao lifted her head from Chen Hao's chest to look at him, while saying, "Really now, it's only been three days, how could I have gotten thinner."

Upon saying this, she covered Chen Hao's cheeks with her hands, examining them carefully, then said, "It's you who has grown thin. You haven't eaten anything these three days, almost turning into a monkey. I have to tell you something, Tang Jing gave me a plush monkey today, and it looks just like you."

Chen Hao stuck out his tongue, muttering, "There can't be such a handsome monkey in this world."

"Eh!" Ye Yuqiao looked at him with disdain, "How could there be a monkey as narcissistic as you in this world."

"Are you really treating me like a monkey now!" Chen Hao complained, reaching out his left hand to tickle Ye Yuqiao's belly, "How could there be a girl like you who adores a monkey so much in this world."

Ye Yuqiao stuck her tongue out at Chen Hao, pulling a face, and snorted, "I'm not ticklish, go ahead and keep scratching."

After a bit of playful banter, Ye Yuqiao suddenly put on a gloomy face, looking reluctant to leave, "Alright, boyfriend, I need to go, I can't delay your cultivation. Also, to avoid affecting your cultivation in the future, I won't sneak over to see you anymore."

"Are you leaving just like that?" Chen Hao felt equally reluctant, "You can sneak over to see me, at worst I'll pretend not to notice your visit."

"Be good!" Ye Yuqiao caressed Chen Hao's hair with her left hand, then her pink little mouth landed a cool and refreshing kiss on Chen Hao's face, "Concentrate on your cultivation! Just know that there is a girl as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal in this world who is always thinking of you."

"Are you really not going to sneak over to see me in the future?"

"Mhm!" Ye Yuqiao nodded emotionlessly, yet she thought to herself, boyfriend, you idiot, how could I really not come see you for so many days.

Chen Hao sighed, appearing very disappointed.

After a brief silence, Ye Yuqiao got off Chen Hao's lap, slowly stood up, and said, "Boyfriend, I'm leaving!"

"Yuqiao!" Chen Hao immediately stood up, pulling Ye Yuqiao into a tight embrace, "Stay a bit longer, let me hold you properly."

"How long is a while?"

"Two minutes, just give me two more minutes."

However, five minutes passed, and they were still embracing each other.

"Boyfriend, alright, I really have to go now."

"Okay!" Chen Hao nodded unwillingly, but he held Ye Yuqiao even tighter, "If you decide to sneak over to see me in the future, please remember to bring some tasty treats with you."

Ye Yuqiao rolled her eyes, mumbling under her breath, "Turns out it's the food you're after, not me."

Chen Hao laughed "ha ha" twice, the laughter very pure and clear.

Just as Ye Yuqiao was about to push Chen Hao away, he suddenly shifted the topic with a question, "Right, Yuqiao, how is the investigation on that case going? Have you tracked down the real culprit?"

Ye Yuqiao lifted her eyes to look at Chen Hao, scrutinizing him, and wondered if he truly wanted to know or was just trying to delay the time, wanting to hold her a bit longer.

After a pause, Ye Yuqiao began recounting from three days ago when they went to the mental hospital to place Li Xiulian's belongings and continued up until today when a genius had died.

Having heard this, Chen Hao's eyes suddenly shone with brilliance, and goosebumps rose all over his body. He thought of the woman he saw last night in the mental hospital ward when he had activated Nether Vision. Startled, he stared at Ye Yuqiao with wide-open eyes and said with some tightness in his throat, "Was there a plush bear on Li Xiulian's bed?"

"How do you know that?" Ye Yuqiao asked in surprise.

Immediately, Chen Hao began to recall the events from last night when he had activated Nether Vision to look towards the mental hospital, while Ye Yuqiao saw the scenes emerging in his mind through Nether King's Heart.

When the two of them opened their eyes, Ye Yuqiao was the first to come to a realization, then said with a terrified expression, "Not good, Tang Jing might be in danger, I have to go back."

"Do you want me to come back with you?"

"There's no need; we can handle it," Ye Yuqiao said urgently, "You should stay here and continue your cultivation."

After speaking, Ye Yuqiao left another kiss on Chen Hao's face and then transformed into a shadow and departed.

In an instant, she was back in her room.

The faint sounds of Tang Jing's pain could be heard entering her ears.

She instantly moved to Tang Jing's side. At that moment, Tang Jing's face was contorted in extreme pain, her body convulsing.

Ye Yuqiao hurriedly lifted the blanket, only to see Tang Jing holding the plush monkey they had bought today in her arms. One hand of the monkey had penetrated deep into Tang Jing's heart, gripping her heart.

However, not a single drop of blood flowed out, and there was no Yin Qi in the room.

At that time, Ye Yuqiao activated her Yin Yang Eyes, and she saw "a child's Yin Soul attaching itself to the plush monkey."

That child must be Li Xiulian's son, Zhou Peng, she guessed.

"Just as I thought!" Ye Yuqiao sighed and then snatched the plush monkey from Tang Jing's arms.

As soon as the plush monkey was removed from Tang Jing's body, it suddenly turned and leapt into Ye Yuqiao's arms, then reached for Ye Yuqiao's heart.

Just as the monkey's hand was about to touch Ye Yuqiao's left chest, a stream of black Nether King's Power surged out from her left chest and flowed into the plush monkey.

"Ah!" The plush monkey let out a sharp, piercing scream of a young boy.

Then, Ye Yuqiao saw a flash of green light in the eyes of the plush monkey, and it slid down from her body to the ground.

And on the plush monkey, she could no longer see the child's Yin Soul.

"Yuqiao!" At that moment, Tang Jing's faint voice called out, waking up after narrowly escaping Jie.

"Tang Jing," Ye Yuqiao quickly went to Tang Jing's side, "Are you alright now?"

Tang Jing shook her head slightly, and just then, a flash of green light suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Ye Yuqiao gasped in shock; she smelled a deep sense of resentment coming from Tang Jing.

Unbeknownst to her, the boy's Yin Soul had already moved onto Tang Jing!

"Ugh!" Ye Yuqiao let out a strangled cry as she was tightly choked by Tang Jing's grip.
